Wood Working

Upcoming events

Intermediate Woodworking will expand the student's knowledge of wood shop safety and the proper setup and use of specific woodworking machinery. Machines covered in this class will include the joiner, table saw, planer and router.

During this hands-on, two day class students will be creating their very own wood cutting board while learning effective glue up methods, proper sanding techniques and efficient router setup.

A $25 materials fee covers each student's wood and consumables for their take-home project.

This is a two day course held on March 7th and 8th from 1 PM to 3:30 PM.

This class offers an introduction to the software needed to successfully operate the CNC machine (Vcarve Pro). This course will outline the workflow of taking your vector designs through tool-pathing software to generate g-code that can be used by the machine to cut student's project. Students will learn how to create designs for the CNC, basic toolpaths, cutting parameters, proper tool selection, and machining strategies.

The VCarve class is a prerequisite for the CNC Router and the Tormach CNC Mill.

Suggested Prerequisites for this Course: It is strongly recommended that students have a basic knowledge of how to create vector-based files (i.e- .ai, .eps, .dxf, .dwg, .cdr file extensions) before taking this class. If these file types are foreign to you, it is highly recommended that you attend theIntro to 2D Vector class before attending this class.

**Closed-toe shoes are required as the classroom is located though the shop**

This class introduces the student to the large format (4’x8’) Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) wood router and the principles of cutting with high speed milling tools. Students will be introduced to VicEngrave software, set-up and calibration, importing and running files and vacuum table operation. Students will execute a simple hands on project to demonstrate proficiency.

Prerequisites: It is strongly recommended that members have a basic knowledge of how to create vector-based files (i.e., .ai, .eps, .dxf, .dwg, .cdr file extensions) before taking this class. If these file types are foreign to you, you should attend the Design 2D Vector Graphics class before attending this class

This course will introduce students to the basic safety and operation of the power tools in the wood shop. Students will have the opportunity to operate a variety of tools to complete their individual birdhouse project. Tools that will be covered in this class include the panel, table, miter, and hole saws, drill press, nail gun, hand drill, and various sanders.

A small materials fee covers each student's wood and consumables for their take-home project.
